Portrait of KLP pop artist

It all started with music, many years ago...
I had gone to attend a series of lectures on the history of rock music. At the time, I was reading many biographies of artists and rock bands from the 60s and 70s. I also spent a lot of time visiting museums and exhibitions.

Self-taught in drawing since childhood, I looked for a way to visually express my passion for this music and naturally turned to painting. I wanted to capture, at a glance on canvas, the biographies of the personalities who shaped my musical and artistic imagination. That became my starting point and the central theme of my work.

Over time, I broadened my artistic practice by creating purely abstract paintings—combining randomness, abstract expressionism, and dynamic contrasts of shapes and colors.

My visual inspiration draws from the works of masters as diverse as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Mel Ramos, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, Banksy, and JonOne.

Pop Art is the primary influence on my work, in the sense that I use iconic images from popular culture as a base—whether they are rock stars, superheroes, or historical figures.

Old posters peeling off the fences and walls of my city are another source of inspiration. I seek to transpose their raw, weathered poetry—faded and worn by sun and rain—into my canvases by blending torn collage with brush-painted elements.

Finally, Street Art, and more specifically Graffiti, forms the third axis of exploration in my painting. Murals, of course, but even more so those quickly scribbled words on a wall, a poster, a door, a bus stop—fleeting messages left for passing strangers.

I create my paintings based on current inspiration, but also on commission according to specific requests.
